I had a thread about it about 3 weeks ago...Let explain this first. When I did the fox conversion, I didnt like the way the fox throttle was touching my wot switch on my nitrous system. There was not a way that I could make it engage/disengage properly. I was twisting the bracket all different ways but no sucess. So I decided that I should make myself a bracket under the actual gas pedal, so when I'm really WOT to the floor, I'm 100% sure engaging the WOT switch. All this whenever nitrous activated, or not. It's just a switch. No big deal right ?
So I was at the track and it was gonna be my second pass on the juice. First pass I lost the car like 4 times on the 1/4mile. So I do my burnout, arm the nitrous system and purge. My nitrous syst works also with the window switch from 3000-6000rpm and at WOT. So now I want to launch at 5000rpm and as soon as I pass 3000rpm (maybe til 4500rpm when I let go), I hear what seems to be the throttle body sticking. WTF ? I let the revs down and un-arm the nitrous syst. I redo it all over again to see if it was just a one-time shot but it does the same thing and I'm worried and I back off and dont run. I park the car and take the flashlight (night) and look under my pedal. FAWK. You know that firewall carpet we have under there ? Well the WOT switch got stucked in there and never deactivated. So when I was basicly trying to launch, I was spraying a 100shot standing still twice. 2 days after, I'm on the highway hammering it with my friend (motor only) and something not good happens. Ended up getting towed to find out that my
#8 piston was missing a big chunk of it. And that it went through my AFR head also. But I just need 2 valves so I was lucky that I didnt damage them more.
What pisses me off about the whole thing is that this WOT switch gets engaged-disengaged constantly when I drive daily on motor only. But It HAD to be at this very moment WHILE THE NITROUS WAS ACTIVATED that it was stucked. Mytune was perfect and I know it. This was just badluck.
And to answer your question, the stang was already for sale when all this happened. I wasnt able to sell it all modded so it's a good time to strip it down and make more money back selling the aftermarket parts separately. I finally got my other engine tonight. Actually I got the whole car (
Lincoln Mark VII) but I need to remove the engine and put it in the 95.
Sorry for the longpost and for going off-topic.
